Wednesday,&nbsp;Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) and Medincell announced results from the efficacy portion of the Phase 3 SOLARIS trial of TEV-‘749 in adult patients with&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/05/b38694615/teva-and-medincell-announce-positive-phase-3-efficacy-results-from-solaris-trial-evaluating-tev-74" rel="noreferrer noopener">schizophrenia compared to placebo</a>.
The results demonstrated that TEV-‘749 met its primary endpoint as measured by a change in the PANSS total score from baseline after eight weeks compared to placebo. PANSS measures the symptom severity of schizophrenia.
TEV-‘749 utilizes SteadyTeq, a copolymer technology proprietary to Medincell that provides a controlled, steady release of olanzapine, the most prescribed 2nd generation antipsychotic for schizophrenia in the U.S.
TEV-‘749 met its primary endpoint across all three dosing groups, with a mean difference in change in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score from baseline to week 8 of -9.71 points, -11.27 points and -9.71 points versus placebo for the high, medium, and low dose groups, respectively.&nbsp;
These differences from placebo were clinically meaningful and statistically significant.&nbsp;
Key&nbsp;secondary endpoints of CGI-S (Clinical Global Impressions – schizophrenia) and PSP (Personal and Social Performance Scale) total score were also statistically significant after adjusting for multiplicity.&nbsp;
No cases of PDSS have&nbsp;been reported&nbsp;after the administration of approximately 80% of the target injection number.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The long-term safety of TEV-‘749 and the incidence of post-injection delirium/sedation syndrome (PDSS) are also being evaluated in the SOLARIS open-label study (period 2), with safety data topline readout expected in the second half of 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Wednesday, Teva Pharmaceutical also reported the first quarter adjusted EPS of $0.48, up from $0.40 a year ago, missing the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $0.51</a>.
The company reported sales of $3.82 billion, beating the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/05/b38695507/teva-reports-first-quarter-2024-financial-results-and-reaffirms-2024-financial-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $3.73 billion</a>.
Revenues increased 4%&nbsp;in U.S. dollars or&nbsp;5%&nbsp;in local currency&nbsp;terms, mainly due to higher revenues from generic products in all segments, from Austedo and Ajovy in Europe and International Markets segments, partially offset by lower revenues from Copaxone.
Generic&nbsp;products&nbsp;revenues were $808 million, up 8%, mainly due to revenues from lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid).
In the first quarter of 2024, total prescriptions were approximately 314 million, representing 8.2% of U.S. generic prescriptions.
Teva also reaffirmed its 2024 business outlook, with revenues of $15.7 billion &#8211; $16.3 billion (consensus $15.862 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.20 &#8211; $2.50 (consensus $2.41).

Gaming company Roblox Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) will report first-quarter financial results before market open <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">on May 9, 2024.</a>
Here are the earnings estimates, what analysts are saying and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Roblox to report first-quarter bookings of $922.98 million according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed?gspk=bHVrZWphY29iaTUzNDg&amp;gsxid=tdEE0VrK8Jeg&amp;ref=lukejacobi5348">estimates from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company reported bookings of $773.8 million in last year's first quarter. Bookings of $1.13 billion in the fourth quarter were a company record. Roblox has beaten analysts' estimates for bookings in four of the last five quarters.
Analysts expect Roblox to report a loss of 53 cents per share in the first quarter, compared to a loss of 44 cents per share in last year's first quarter. The company has beaten analysts' earnings per share estimates in three of the past five quarters.
Guidance from the company calls for first-quarter bookings between $910 million and $940 million and revenue between $755 million and $788 million.
Roblox guided for full fiscal year 2024 bookings to be in a range of $4.14 billion to $4.28 billion. Full-year revenue was guided to be in a range of $3.30 billion and $3.40 billion.
What Analysts Are Saying: Roblox's efforts to increase new advertisers on its platform is a positive mentioned by JPMorgan analyst Cory Carpenter.
The analyst<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38382984/roblox-analyst-turns-bullish-as-trends-appeared-to-materially-pick-up-in-march"> recently upgraded Roblox shares</a> from Neutral to Overweight and raised the price target from $41 to $48.
Carpenter said Roblox posted 20% bookings growth in each of the past four quarters, showing consistent growth.
"Third-party data suggested RBLX was tracking below its bookings guide through February, but trends appeared to materially pick-up in March," Carpenter said.
The analyst expects Roblox to report first-quarter bookings of $927 million, which is above the consensus estimate. The analyst also expects Roblox's full-year bookings guidance to be reiterated during its first-quarter results.
Here are other recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RBLX/analyst-ratings"> analyst ratings on Roblox </a>and their price targets.
Roth MKM: Buy rating, $55 price target
Benchmark: Buy rating, $50 price target

Key Items to Watch: Roblox's partnerships with companies could be an item to watch in the first quarter as brands look for ways to engage with the company's large audience.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38493487/walmart-and-roblox-are-teaming-up-to-make-virtual-e-commerce-a-reality-as-of-today-walmart-is-able-t">report </a>in April from Digiday said Roblox was teaming up with retail giant Walmart to make virtual e-commerce a reality. The partnership could see Walmart able to sell physical goods to users who are inside the Roblox digital platform.
Advertising efforts could be a key item analysts and investors look toward the first-quarter report. A Wall Street Journal report said Roblox <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38182117/whats-going-on-with-roblox-stock-wednesday">reached out to programmatic advertising company</a> PubMatic Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PUBM#NASDAQ">PUBM</a>) in an effort to help boost video ad sales on its platform.
Increased focus on advertising could open up more monetization efforts for the company.
"We are very intentionally looking for ways to bring our audience thoughtfully to all brands," Roblox vice president of Global Partnerships Stephanie Latham said.
Roblox wants to keep users on the platform as they age and bring in new users in older demographics. The company worked on new initiatives in 2023 aimed at older audiences.
Perhaps the biggest item to watch will be if the record metrics for bookings, users and revenue in the fourth quarter can be sustained or topped in the first quarter.
"We ended the year with our strongest rate of quarterly bookings growth in two years and delivered our first quarter of $1 billion in bookings. We are scaling our operations efficiently, thereby improving our margins and cash flow, and we expect those trends to continue in 2024," Roblox Chief Financial Officer Michael Guthrie said after the company reported fourth-quarter results.
RBLX Price Action: Roblox shares trading down 3.16% at $39.26 on Wednesday at publication versus a 52-week trading range of $24.88 to $47.20. Roblox shares are up 12% over the last year.
